Quick Connect Hydrant and Tees for Portable Troughs
The Kiwitech Tee is a uniquely versatile speed-coupling for polypipe. Under pressure the bare end of standard 25mm O.D. polypipe can be push-fitted and disconnected (using a bayonet action) into any of the Tee legs (no unscrewing of the fitting, no tools, no threading).
What makes the Kiwitech Tee truly special is a valve that fits inside any chosen Tee leg that is activated by pushing in polypipe. Inclusion of the valve turns the fitting into a very fast ('quick-connect'), inexpensive and very high flow Hydrant. Hydrants are natural companions of Kiwitech Troughs.
Note: Hydrants are not for use with direct mains water supplies. Due to potential risk of backflow there must be an air-gap in the system i.e. ball valve in header tank. For further information please contact us or consult your local water authority.
Hydrants and Tees
Use Tees with MDPE or LDPE no greater than 25.4mm O.D. and minimum pressure rating of 8 Bar. For larger feeding lines use Plasson adapters screwed onto the Tee Body which has 1 ¼’’ BSP threads and a 30mm bore (Tee Bodies cope with flows typical of 40mm O.D. poly).
Hydrant Tees
The key function of the hydrant is to provide quick couple water source points for portable troughs, which usually have a 25mm O.D. polypipe lead about 8 metres long.
In frost prone areas use a ‘Cone Plug’ (scroll to page end) with End Of Line Hydrants. Before periods of severe frost we recommend disconnecting the water lateral and draining 50% of the water to avoid line damage.
Trough Tees
Designed for use with Kiwitech Troughs - see Fixed and Portable Troughs page.
